The automotive aftermarket is adapting quickly to electrification, advanced driver assistance systems and increased digitalisation. Workshops need new tools, training and partners to maintain operational efficiency.
Auto Prof Gorinchem 2027 takes place from 2 to 4 February 2027 in Evenementenhal Gorinchem. The event brings together equipment makers, parts suppliers and software vendors targeting workshop operations. Previous figures include 111 exhibitors and 9,147 visitors at the 2026 edition, which helps measure the event scope.
Key themes at Auto Prof Gorinchem 2027
The organiser highlights practical topics for workshops such as collision repair, remanufacturing, workshop equipment, tyres and digitalisation. The knowledge programme includes technical sessions and demonstrations aimed at technicians and workshop managers who require applied solutions rather than conceptual talks.
For companies offering diagnostic tools, lifting equipment or workshop software, the fair provides space to present integration workflows and live use cases that show time savings and error reduction.

Preparing B2B prospecting at Auto Prof Gorinchem 2027
Define concrete targets before arriving. Use the exhibitor list to select 8 to 12 companies aligned with your offering and book short meetings at their stands. Bring materials that illustrate case studies and integration options.
For equipment, request live demos and operational metrics. For software, prepare short process examples from a typical workshop to use in a demo. Schedule meetings around the knowledge sessions to meet speakers and attendees immediately after technical presentations.
If you exhibit, review the floorplan and select a location with steady technical traffic. The organiser offers visibility packages and guidance on booth selection. Use those options to secure meetings with buyers and workshop heads.
Numbers to keep in mind and closing note
The event reported 111 exhibitors and attendance above 9,000 professionals in 2026, figures that help set commercial targets and staffing needs for stands. Auto Prof Gorinchem 2027 runs on an evening schedule that accommodates workshop attendance during working hours.
If your goal is to win aftermarket contracts, focus on short, measurable demos and prearranged meetings. Check the exhibitor list and programme at the official site http://www.autoprof-vakbeurs.nl/en and lock in the priority meetings before the fair.
